I talked to a Regional RIM saleman last week. As Chris said I think the hybrid will be the next thing that we will see from Nextel for BB. It is in keeping with the Sprint/Nextel merger to merge both systems, Sprint gets DC and Nextel opens their sites up and we get Sprint phone service!! Of course only time will tell.

a hybrid would be nice

Waiting for this "new nextel blackberry" is the only reason I haven't switched to another provider. I love having the best of both worlds and would hate to give up the chirp!

An hybrid would be appreciated by a lot of my customers

Any word if they are even toying with a hybrid Blackberry for Sprint/Nextel w/DC?

I would like to see Nextel get another/newer blackberry, the 7100 is great but some functions and programs on there plus the network is slower then GSM. i think that model is a little outdated. Still i want to upgrade my nextel to a BB Nextel , just dont have one i like yet.

Update: Look at q2 of next year at the earliest, a Hybrid bb. This unit will use Sprints CDMA network for voice, and Nextel's iDen network for dispatch.

mcashman · #25 10-30-2006 -

Yeah, I'm hearing no new devices any time soon...guess that could mean q2 of next year.

Supposidly Sprint has been working together with nextel to expand their Voice coverage..because sprint's CDMA has better voice over the iDEN nextel..for some time now. Making (I THINK) all 2way iDEN...so no matter if you have a sprint branded Push to Talk or a Nextel Branded 2way phone you will be able to talk to both networks at the push of a button. I guess they are refering these tobe the Hybrid Phones.

Awsome Idea. But Nextel Support is and always has been better then Sprint.

For CDMA id go with verizon over sprint anyday.

That is the reason why I jumped shipped to TMO.......Tired of all the talk and hype and no product

I guess the October iDEN blackberry never happened...
